Topic: 1Dx Delayed in the USA (Read 4438 times)

I'm here at WPPI and have been told that the 1Dx has been delayed until late April/early May. This was not in writing but verbally told to me by the highest ranking person at Canon that I know. By the way, the 24-70 looks nice.

This disclaimer shows on the USA site and not the Canadian site so I would think this is the delay in the USA issue?

wait till the video of the yeti using a 1Dx with 200-400f4L with builtin TC comes out...

I just saw it on Youtube. It's a video taken with a 5Dx, of a yeti taking shots of the Loch Ness monster using a 1Dx and 200-400 f/4L auto focused at f/8. The yeti then hops in his VW GolfX and drives down to McDonald's to pick up a Big MacX, which he washes down with a Dr. PepperX, before retiring for the evening at Holiday Inn ExpressX.

If it's true or not, we "normal" customers have to wait until our brand new camera is a frikkin' year old before we can buy it, awesome...

Looks like the 5d is staying for a while, not too unhappy with it though, it. is. awesome IQ at least. I've been using my 17 TS and Zeiss 28mm a bit more lately, and with the Eg-S screen, I get more images in focus with MF than my other lenses with AF, lol. Not quite sure what to think of that....
